Jennifer was the ultimate lady in red in strapless Christian Dior couture, with a clever cinched-in waist, too.

It’s sparkly and white and by Chanel – I should love it, but I don’t. It’s meh. It’s not too exciting.

Talking of not exciting, oooh, here’s another one! A dusty pink, creased Prada that completely washes Anne out. Must try harder.

Although Amanda looks romantic and ethereal in Givenchy, it doesn’t give her much shape.

This Calvin Klein, duck-egg blue gown is what made the Globes for me. A brave choice that paid off.

I get this dress, I do. It’s Hollywood glamour. I was just a tad disappointed. Jessica is my little dark horse on the carpets, not here though.

Like a second skin, this Marchesa dress is so timeless Hollywood, and gorgeous beyond belief…

OMG, my eyes are STILL offended by this cut-out disaster. I can’t forgive Halle for this...

... Except when she redeems herself with an Atelier Versace gown as amazing as this. Statuesque and glamorous, all in one.

I didn’t think Naomi could get any better - this deep red dramatic-train gown is perfection on her.

And then she does this, something so different but equally as amazing. Bravo Ms Watts.

Though this is not the most WOW Vivienne Westwood dress, it fits like a glove and is a great colour on Jennifer .

This is everything: A WOW Gucci number, an amazing colour on her, and all the drama with added ruffle. Good job.
